Echelon NodeBuilder Resource Report Generator - Manual (Page 4)

Introduction
The NodeBuilder Resource Report Generator is a
NodeBuilder Resource Editor plug-in that helps you
create reports that document resources that you select.
You can create reports for standard and user-defined
network variable types (NVTs), configuration property
types (CPTs), enumeration types, and functional profiles.
The report generator converts the resource definitions that
you select to extensible markup language (XML) format.
The report generator includes an extensible stylesheet
language transformation (XSLT) that allows a Web
browser or any other application that supports XSLT to
format the data in the XML report. You can modify the
XSLT files to create custom reports for your resource
data. You can host and view reports on your computer, or
you can host your reports on a Web server for remote,
multi-user access. You can see examples of hosted reports
created by the report generator at types.echelon.com and
types.lonmark.org.
In addition to viewing reports with a Web browser, you
can easily convert reports into Microsoft Word
documents, and with XSL or JavaScript knowledge,
convert reports into text, RTF, PDF, or any other format.
